Wyatt - I've worked with both spaders and they are both good. I think 
I found the celli more 'elegant' than the tortella. I was never 
impressed with the deep work of a spader but I'm certainly impressed 
by the bed prep a spader does. I'd advise you to chisel plow once a 
year and use the spader on your beds/fields as necessary the rest of 
the season. I really never believed the 'spaders fracture the soil 3 
ft deep' salesman's line. -Allan in Shepherdstown, WV
